The owner of a bar in Nashville says former LSU Quarterback Zach Mettenberger was sucker punched by an Alabama fan. Steve Ford says Mett was not provoking the person in any way but that the guy said “Roll Tide” and Zach said, “Good Luck with that.” That’s when the other person’s friend sucker punched the Titans draftee in the eye. He said Zach did not punch back.
